I'm not a coder, I'm a social monkey so that meant diddly-squat to me - I'm hoping you in the community made sense of that.


Here is Siberia at its Max

Furthermore theres a whole host of ways you can expand your empire further by tag switching between nations

That's all for this report, I can hear the chanting of “Release the DLC Now” from the Twitter front so I must get back to the frontlines.

Suggestion: Flag some of the "weirder" tags that the AI generally shouldn't release in peace conferences (such as most of these new ones, Occitania, Brittany, the various Chinese warlords, Vichy France, the Spains, the Conferderacy and all similar Civil War tags, and probably some others), and tell the AI not to release those in peace conferences.

I second this.

While i appreciate the options given to the player to balkanize his enemies or rp a bit more, the risk is that this becomes a second Occitania where apparently the dream of every AI is to divide France in as many ways as possible. And while Vichy France gets annexed by France after a short period of time, Occitania does not and neither does Brittany or similar.

I know you @Midgeman_Official are the community ambassador and not a dev, but it has been a problem looming for a long time and i hope it is on the radar of those able to fix it or forwarded to them.

One day, perhaps they may even have focus trees, because God knows that the overflow of generic focus trees is just ghastly. Yes, we could leave it to the modders, but that is the lazy way out, because why should people have to mod in order to have an interesting and immersive alt-history experience with, per sé, an independent Chechynya-Ingushetiya in the 1940s,, with the goal of reversing Russification and ending Russian occupation. There was an actual revolt in the same region during WWII and Russia's entrance to the war, so is it actually too much to ask for a more interesting experience than "take the states and click the button for the cosmetic tag"?

I'm asking for the last time. If nobody will answer, the responsible persons will be found and sent to the gulag in Kolyma.

Will the models of Soviet infantry be changed? Who is wearing a trenchcoat all year long? Where are infamous potato colour uniforms?

While I do appreciate this Diary, I'm afraid of how this will impact peace deals, it is already painful enough to see the Allies dismembering France after a war just because of Vichy, and all these new formables might worsen this problem, but with the Soviet Union. Of course, the french example isn't the only one aswell, but I don't think it's necessary for me to quote more as it has already been acknowledged by the community and devs alike, still, I'm going to say that besides France, countries like Spain and the african colonies also get some of that Allied bordergore.

Would it be possible to get a look at State changes and what new states might have been added, what alterations there have been to old states?

Im absolutely loving this by the way! It was an awesome way to finish off the week by seeing this surprise, thank you!

Will the Volga German Republic be bale to form Germany?

Apart from that, will their capital "Engels" be renamed if it's not Communist? Possibly into "Kosakenstadt".

I'm not sure it makes sense for Tajikistan, an Iranic nation-state, to form Turkestan. They do however have an archaic historical claim to the region, so maybe Turkestan can be called ''Outer Iran'' or ''Sogdia'' or something if formed by TAJ.
But other than that, looks like fun! :)

Please, on historical AI, make any and all peace conferences historical when done by the AI, because I don't want the AI to release as many nations as possible and annex what ever to create the worst border gore imaginable, non-historical the AI can go nuts for all I care, just when things are historical, make the peace deals historical as well. This is probably the best time to say this as I can't even imagine what the peace deals are going to be like now.

I'm now wondering, how the hell are we supposed to form that Siberia as Tannu-Tuva?
Click to expand...

When I heard about this achievement, I watched old Taueror's video about Tannu Tuva:
This was a long time ago, but I think that starting strategy (conquer and puppet as many China as You can) would be still valid.
I really enjoy about these formable nations :)

The new tags will be good to have, especially since it's now possible for the USSR to disintegrate from either civil war or invasion.
